BOSTON (CBS) — The undermanned Celtics came out firing in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat. The Celtics of the first half looked like they may be able to steal the first game of the series, even without Al Horford and Marcus Smart. But the Celtics of the third quarter were downright dreadful. Boston came out of halftime ice cold and lethargic, and Miami stormed out with a 22-2 run to completely flip the game. The Celtics went on to lose Game 1, 118-107, in Miami. READ MORE: Natick elementary school custodian saves student choking in cafeteria The third quarter changed everything.

The Celtics shot just 2-for-15 in the quarter, and turned the ball over eight times. That just isn’t going to get it done in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 15 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Once Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson slowed down, caught their breath and stopped rushing shots, the Splash Brothers got on a roll that proved too much for Dallas to stop. Especially because Andrew Wiggins worked end to end to make sure Luka Doncic couldn't get going. Curry had 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, Golden State held Doncic in check and the Warriors beat the Mavericks 112-87 on Wednesday night for a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. “Just make him work, that was the main thing,” Wiggins said. Doncic scored 20 points but shot just 6 for 18 and 3 of 10 from deep. He made back-to-back 3-pointers late in the first half to get his team within 54-45 at the break, but Curry and Thompson heated up and helped the Warriors pull away in the second half. “A great job. … [Read more...] about Curry’s 21 points, 12 boards lead Warriors in Game 1, 112-87

Hunt is—excitingly or disappointingly, depending on your preferences—not a gritty, character-based reboot of the Mission: Impossible franchise, but instead a political thriller from South Korea, made by Squid Game’s breakout star Lee Jung-jae in his directorial debut. The fact that Hunt is so clearly a debut, with all the messy, bumpy execution that that implies, is partially offset by the film’s sheer energy and its walloping budget, which help turn the whole exercise into a wham-bam guns ‘n’ explosions romp. At the outset of Hunt , a series of stern title cards and hilariously broad exposition scenes feed us a lot of information as to the political situation in which the movie is embedded: that is, the apex of military dictatorship in South Korea in the 1980s, when the country was seeking a path toward Western growth. In these opening vignettes, the camera works busily, ferreting its way through crowds, zooming hither and thither, and generally giving a fine sense of … [Read more...] about ‘Squid Game’ Star’s Movie Bloodbath Rattles Cannes
